Debug runs immediately after downloading

I am having a problem on some of my boards.  The one in particular was working fine, then after chaning code and downloading, the code runs immediately in the debugger.  When I try to stop the execution, it fails to show the stepping code.  I have two boards that did this right after assembly.  This board was running fine, then the problem started.  I can not find a way to return it to the previous working state.

You are right - it sounds like a hardware problem. However, given that no errors are reported, I don't think it is the debug connection (SWD - not JTAG!). You should check power.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it still does it.  If I hit the RESET button to reset the debug session, it runs immediately.  Upon stopping, it gives no information.  It does not even stop at the "[SIZE=2][B]ResetISR" [/B]that I set as the stop point.  The other board does.  [/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Could it be a JTAG problem?  It seems to be related to hardware, not software since I have a good working board.

Hi,

It looks like you might have a stack problem. I suggest that you change the initial breakpoint to be the Reset Handler and then step through your code to see where it is going wrong. See:

HTH,

This is what I get when I hit PAUSE:

Hit the Suspend (Pause) button and you'll see where it is.

My guess is that you have hit an exception somewhere before the breakpoint on main().
